ADVANCED FEATURES

AUTOMATIC CONNECTION FEATURE

The advantage of conventional dedicated cabling lies in guaranteed performance and availability. The PelcoNet NET104A Transmission SystemÕs auto-connect feature is designed to provide the same level of guaranteed connectivity expected from analog coaxial video cables.

IT networks commonly experience short breakdowns and congestion. Protocols used for computer communication (for example, TCP/IP) are designed to cope with missing data and interruptions. With the PelcoNet NET104A Transmission System, once a video connection is established, the video stream normally terminates gracefully when a network connector is pulled or the network is otherwise disrupted.

The system can be configured to reconnect automatically to guarantee connectivity. To activate this feature, click the Connect radio button to On (in the Alarm Settings configuration page) and confirm this choice by clicking the Set button. Now the unit will try to connect to the specified alarm IP address every time. The receiving station (alarm IP address) can be another receiver.

VIDEO MOTION DETECTION FEATURE

The transmitter can check video input automatically for significant motion in the scene and trigger an alarm if the motion exceeds a preset threshold. Activate motion detection by setting Motion Detection to on in the Alarm Settings configuration page.

Click the Configuration button to select parameters for motion detection. You need to tailor these parameters to the particular application. Experiment to find the best settings. For example, higher sensitivity may lead to erroneous detection and increase false alarms.

You can restrict motion detection to certain areas in the scene. Select the cells you want the system to monitor for motion. To set an individual cell, click it with the left mouse button (the cell will turn red). Click with the right mouse button to deselect a cell (which will turn white). Select or deselect multiple cells by holding down the left or right mouse button and dragging. Release when finished.
